Freshman Application Procedure
The Admissions Committee places primary emphasis on the
applicant's secondary school record. Subjects taken, grades,
SAT or ACT scores, and class rank are among the more
important factors taken into consideration. Most students rank
in the upper half of their graduating class, and many are in
the top third.The committee also reviews any additional
information submitted by either the applicant or the school.
For freshman applicants who have pursued a non-traditional
secondary education program, the General Equivalency
Diploma, granted by the appropriate state agency, is
recognized. A transcript of the work that was completed in
high school is still required; a curriculum similar to that
previously described is recommended.
Secondary school students must submit the following when
applying for admission: (1) a completed application; (2) an
official and complete high school transcript; (3) official results
of either the SAT I or the ACT; and (4) the $30 application
fee.The school record should be submitted directly to the
Admissions Office by the applicant's counselor or principal.
Roanoke College has no limitation on the number or
proportion of qualified persons with disabilities who may be
admitted. Applicants complete the usual application
procedure. If special tests are available and appropriate,
applicants are encouraged to use them.
